The Verde River runs past this 423-acre park which offers picnicking, fishing, multi-use trails (for bikes, horses and hikers) and a playground. Bird-watchers will want to make the short trek to the bird-watching stand at Tavasci Marsh to train their binoculars for a sighting of the least bittern, the Yuma clapper rail and the belted kingfisher.
For the horse-lover, Trail Horse Adventures offers rides lasting one to 2½ hours. There's also an option for a three-hour lunch ride ($125).
